Fire Arrow 1.4.2 has been released.

  • (new) Support for running Fire Arrow locally in a Docker container

This release improves developer experience by enabling local Docker containers.

Fire Arrow depends on Azure Identity to authenticate with Azure Health Data Services. So far this required Fire Arrow to always be run from source, because Azure Identity requires running Azure CLI to fetch an authentication token.

Version 1.4.2 adds support for fetching the authentication service via a proxy service. The setting can be turned on by setting enable_proxied_azure_cli_credential to true (disabled by default). When enabled, Fire Arrow will attempt to connect to a local web service that provides the output of Azure CLI.

To illustrate this feature and enable a much better developer experience, a simple shell environment to start and run Fire Arrow has been published at https://github.com/evoleen/fire-arrow-shell.
